How to Use The Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener - User's Guide: How to Sharpen a Knife

The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener is bench top rod and clamp style sharpener. The angle can be set between 15 and 30 degrees which secures the rod in place with the abrasive, while the clamp secures the knife. With coarse and medium diamond abrasives and fine ceramic for honing the Precision Adjust produces incredible results and will have you sharpening every knife you own! #worksharp #knifesharpening #howtosharpen

Using a pencil eraser to clean the ceramic stone is a great tip. I haven't seen that before!

WOW...Thankyou worksharp for giving me back the ability to make my knives extremely sharp, for quite a few years I've had a progressive neurological disorder that has recently taken my ability to hold steady, needless to say this makes trying to put an edge on my knives impossible so I had to give that up. Until now...I just unboxed my elite and in 3 1/2 hours proceeded to put a near surgical edge on 2 kitchen knives and my Kershaw speedsafe which is now more like a Kersharpashell...Thank-you Worksharp for giving me back the ability to do what I used to love doing.

The ultimate pro tip, while sharpening hold the adjustment knob absolutely perfectly still. If you don’t it moves slightly and changes your angle. But if you hold that adjustment knob you will get an absolutely razor finish.

About time someone made a good guided sharpener at a reasonable price. This should be a runaway hit

Just bought this system, and the upgraded grit range, ceramic serration hone handle, with case set. After about a year on the market, and shopping other systems, I felt confident starting here. The price/performance o.o.b, and potential for adaptation is unmistakable. Thanks Worksharp! And I must say I can’t appreciate this video’s approach enough. Right off the jump they (Designer Steve) addressed two factors I had questions about, namely recurve and tanto edges. Talk about knowing your audience! And as others have stated, that tip (pun?!) on erasing the ceramic buildup was right on! I have drafter’s polymer erasers I rarely use, so they’re going in the travel case. Gonna use that on my Mac cerarod hone as well. Thanks again for all your hard work on the design, implementation, and support for this kit. Woot!

Recently bought a set of handmade Damascus carbon steel kitchen knives. They're great knives, but being handmade, the edges are ground to slightly different angles. I bought the precision adjust elite set and just re-profiled and sharpened the first knife with it. I'm extremely impressed with how razor sharp I was able to get it. Excellent tool, I'll be using it on all my knives. Thank you.

Kids watching the door waiting for an Xbox to be delivered, me watching the door waiting for Amazon to drop off my Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener... Priorities I guess. Yet another awesome product from Work Sharp.

You guys have covered all the bases. Such a great freaking design!

[lanceodell]

Just bought one this week! I'm just getting into knifes and I"m not talented enough to get the hang of the wet stones, but I love using the precision adjust knife sharpener with tri-abrasive! thank you for the tips!

Just purchased this unit and wanted the visuals and commentary to ensure that I was on the right track. Off to do my work pocket knife as a testbed before tackling our kitchen knives. Thanks for the straight forward introduction. Will get in touch if I come up against any issues.

Know: I suck at sharpening knives.
Know: I used this tool for the first time today and might just start a neighborhood knife sharpening business!
It is incredible.

[abennett]

Brilliant design! I bought a Lansky years ago, and never use it for several reasons. You solved those problems with this design! Great job!

[TEXASGIANT]

I notice that you use a very small area of the stone with each stroke. Maybe in over thinking it but wouldn't using the full length of the stone in a longer stroke be better for the longevity of the stone and prevent or at least postpone hollowing out the belly of the stone and fighting a curved grind on your knife? Thanks.

Now all you need to do is add a stone holder for standard 6” X 1” stones and you’ll have a real fixed angle budget sharpener contender!

Ordered mine a few days ago. Can’t wait to use it.

I've screwed up a couple of knives with obsessively trying to get a good edge with other sharpeners. This thing is Magic out of the box. Great product!! Thank you Work Sharp.

I only use work sharp. My first one was the GFS and the the electric knife tool sharpener. Both awesome! Just before this precision came out I was wanting a system like this and thinking of making my own. Im still on the knifes edge (excuse the pun) on whether I should buy this system or build mine. What I would have liked was:
More finer grits to achieve a polished edge for my custom knives.
Apart from the plates rounded rods in the same grits for cerated blades and curved/special contoured blades. Could be purchased separately.
A strop.
A larger blade clamp for thicker chopping blades.
Extendable rods for longer blades.
Maybe a big brother to this system where the knife clamp points upwards and one has stone/plates on either side that are adjustable in degrees. A upward facing clamp would create more stability for larger blades.

My boss just bought all the employee's this for Christmas. I've got a lot of knifes to be sharpened, so I can't wait to use it.

This is the best sharpener I have used. I am okay with a stone, but this sharpens so quickly and efficiently.
